Getting around
Torghatten is the legendary mountain pierced by a distinctive hole and is considered essential to visit. The Scandinavian Ice Age formed a tunnel 160 metres (520 ft) long, 35 metres (115 ft) high and 15-20 metres (50-66 ft) wide: ice and water removed softer sediment while harder upper rock resisted erosion. Walking the partly prepared path usually takes approximately 25-30 minutes, and all visitors proceed at their own risk.
Herøy Church is an attractive wooden church dating to the 19th century, noted for its intricate interior and architecture.
